This made me cry. I still can't believe he's gone. He was a true patriot. There will never be another like him. This will take a long time to come to terms with. Toby Keith a true icon and legend.

I’ve cried everyday since I heard he passed away. I loved 🥰 Toby and felt like a close friend to him even though we Never met. I first saw him his first time at Starlake pavilion in Burgettstown,Pa. ( Pittsburgh) I was in 2 nd row from stage,I fell hard for his music and his ways,I admired him soo much,We’re same age,He was couple months older. I think we would have been great friends,we had a lot in common. My Heart is Broken for his Beautiful Tricia,Shelley,Krystal,&Stele& his Mom,Brother & sister. What an Unbelievable Loss to them & The World. He was bigger than MJ & Elvis!! Sweet Toby May you Play & Sing in Gods Choir until your hearts desire. I will meet you one day in Heaven. I’ll always Love you Big Dog Daddy

Life can go on after the loss of a Trinket but not after the loss of this Legend, only a percent can fill his boots, he deserves the most powerful Tribute, for he left an impact on the World. A Military 21 gun salute televivised!

Growing up in OKC for 28 years, livinging in Nashville for 28. Music and sports, it's all entertainment. Some good some bad. Don't get caught up In the bs. Find the truth in life.

[@JohnnyCBCS]

Don’t forget that politics is pretty much all entertainment too, don’t get caught up in the bs, just enjoy the entertainment

[@AeRiaLryDer]

So sad he took the bioweapon jab. He would still be alive if he didnt.

[@blondie6549]

Did he?

[@juliebryne2903]

Not necessarily! Millions get cancer that have not been vaccinated! It doesnt make a difference with cancer!

[@johnnybaz959]

U Stupid!

[@erikhammer153]

Worshipping the guy it seems

[@JohnnyCBCS]

Paying tribute and worshipping are two very different things, try to learn to be able to tell the difference between the two

[@travisdean8794]

@@JohnnyCBCSI was just about to say that very thing. Well said.

[@travisdean8794]

Don’t you have another page to move along to and be an example of an asshole? Just as mentioned, big difference between worshipping and a tribute. Find a dictionary and look it up. I’m almost certain that you obviously don’t know the difference and probably don’t know what a dictionary is. So head on down to your mom’s basement and bang away on your phone or laptop keyboard. Remember this, you’re gonna be gone too one day. There probably won’t be any legacy I’m guessing. Have a good day dipshit.

[@kathleengagliardi7669]

No fool, they LOVE the Man. That's pure love and respect . Sorry you are so confused, and just a negative person

[@travisdean8794]

Seems like you haven’t got the memo. There’s a difference between a tribute and worshipping. I doubt you know the difference. Pick up a dictionary somewhere and look at the meanings. You might find one in your mom’s basement. So bang away on that phone or laptop keyboard.
